Northwestern 2025 - Documentary Media

Hi there! I don’t think any one confirm there’s only 4 people this year. All we know that is last year was only 4, and waitlist might not be a thing for NU this program.

Did you happen to ask them when is the result comes out? Cuz I checked last year and the year before last year, it seems like pretty long and they don’t have a certain time.

Best luck to everyone!
I did not ask them, but they said it might be a while 🥲 here's hoping we all get acceptances very soon!

Same same. I only remember they said it’s gonna be a while please be patient. May I ask how many professors interviewed you? For me was 5 of them.

Wish we all get acceptances and be future classmates!!
 
thanks for sharing!
I think then acceptance letters must have been sent even before..ig😿
Do not panic mate!! the program is highly competitive! 4 to 8 students per year, so if you were lucky enough to have an interview stay calm and wait. probably the announcement will be in 2 to 3 weeks.
